3.7 Experimental<br />

3.7.1 General Methods<br />

All chemical reagents were used without further purification. Solvents for column<br />

chromatography and TLC were laboratory grade and distilled before use. For thinlayer<br />

chromatography (TLC), analytical TLC plates (Alugram SIL G/UV254 (E. M.<br />

Merk) were used. Column chromatography was performed with flash silica gel (100-<br />

200 mesh) or neutral alumina oxide (50-200 micron). 1 H and 13 C NMR spectra were<br />

recorded on a Bruker Avance 300 (300 MHz) or a Bruker AMX-400 (400 MHz)<br />

spectrometers. NMR samples were run in the indicated solvents and were referenced<br />

internally. Chemical shift values were quoted in ppm and coupling constants were<br />

quoted in Hz. Chemical shift multiplicities were reported as s = singlet, d = doublet, t<br />

= triplet, q = quartet, m = multiplet and br = broad. Low-resolution mass spectra were<br />

recorded on a HEWLETT-PACKARD instrument (CI or EI) and LCQ Advantage<br />

instrument (ESI). High-resolution mass spectra (EI) were recorded on a KRATOS<br />

MS50TC instrument. Melting points were determined using Reichert-Jung Thermovar<br />

apparatus and were uncorrected.<br />

3.7.2 Microwave Irradiation Experiments<br />

Microwave irradiation experiments were carried out in a dedicated CEM-Discover<br />

mono-mode microwave apparatus or Milestone MicroSYNTH multi-mode microwave<br />

reactor (Laboratory Microwave Systems). Microwave apparatuses were used in the<br />

standard configuration as delivered, operating at a frequency 2.45 GHz with<br />

continuous irradiation power from 0 to 400 W. The reactions were carried out in 10,<br />

20, 30 and 50 mL glass tubes. The temperature was measured with an IR sensor on<br />

the outer surface of the process vial or fibre optic sensor inside the process vial. After<br />

the irradiation period, the reaction vessel was cooled rapidly (2-5 min) to ambient<br />

temperature by air jet cooling.
